Lian Li has launched a new mid-tower case, the Tyr PC-X500FX, which is in fact an upgraded version of the Lian Li's Tyr PC-X500 case released in 2008 that we’ve already reviewed. This new all-black case is built in aluminum and supports ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX motherboards. It features two 5.25” external bay, six 3.5” internal bays (the original Tyr PC-X500 has four), one 2.5” internal bay (not present on the Tyr PC-X500), eight slots for expansion cards (the original Tyr PC-X500 has seven), a side panel window (not present on the Tyr PC-X500), and it can house video cards up to 12.4” (315 mm) long.
The Tyr PC-X500FX comes with three 140 mm fans with LEDs on the front panel and two 120 mm fans on the rear panel, one eSATA and four USB 3.0 ports, tool-less mechanism for hard drive and expansion card installation, a fan control knob on the rear panel, and two holes for liquid cooling solutions.
The Tyr PC-X500FX is expected to reach on the market by the end of this month with a suggested price of USD 499.
